The New Girl

Rough Day

WARNING! TRIGGERING PARTS IN THIS PART OF THE STORY!!

**Elub's POV**

The rest of the day was fine. I shared first period with Carter, and Mary and I were only able to hang out at lunch and break. It wasn't until 6th period until things took a sharp turn.

I asked to go to the restroom, and on my way there, I saw three guys staring me down and laughing. I was guessing it was because of the way I dressed or just something with the way I looked, so I just shrugged it off. I mean, I'm at school. Why should I worry? It's my safe zone. 

Oh. How wrong I was.

On my way out, one of the guys grabbed my hoodie, and pulled me into the guy's restroom, with the help of his two other friends. They locked me into one of the stalls. Then blind-folded me.

You probably could guess what happened next..

They... sexually harassed me..

I never felt so useless. My screams echoed but nobody heard. I could feel their hands... and my hot tears just rolling now my face.

After about ten minutes of the hell, they gave zipped and button up my clothes and left. I was frozen. I couldn't breathe. Why does the world hate me. 

It wasn't long for me to understand that some people just wanted the world to burn.

I didn't want to go back to class, so I jumped the fence. I got luckly because the restroom was close to the back of the school, and security were picking up kids from the front of the school.

I walked a few miles and rethought everything in my head. 

My parents.

Myself.

Being stuck in this new life. These memories I was forced with.

I found a park. The same park my parents took me when I was young. I sat one the swing my dad use to push my on, while I swung. My mom would be in the next one, by me.

 Children everywhere, and the birds singing their happy melodies. Dogs chasing the squirrels. The flowers so beautiful in the spring. The trees neon orange and yellow in the Fall. The grass was a winter wonderland in winter.

Now its so empty. Everything is dead. Including my parents and hopes. 

I put my head down and cried for what seemed like hours. Screaming at the world that would scream back.

"Hey... do you want me to help you out..?", I heard a concerned voice right in front of me.

"No.. don't bother with me.. if you wanted to swing, you can have it.." I tried saying with the voice I had left. I stood up trying not to show my face. I felt a gentle touch on my wrist.

"I know you're going through something rough. I understand the feeling perfectly. I'm here to help you." 

I looked up to see a guy with the most concerned look on this face. Wow.... he is actually.. worried?

He gave me the biggest hug I was ever given. He was warm.. it was nice to have a shoulder to cry on.

I didn't want the hug to end.
